What is a ROV engineer?

A ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Engineer is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and troubleshooting of underwater robotic systems used in offshore industries such as oil and gas, marine research, and subsea exploration. They ensure that ROVs function correctly by conducting pre-dive checks, repairs, and upgrades. ROV Engineers work both offshore and onshore, collaborating with pilots, technicians, and project teams to complete underwater tasks efficiently and safely. Strong technical skills in electronics, hydraulics, and mechanics are essential for this role.
